You shall not go yellow. When your status goes to yellow, no one is directing your troops. No one is overseeing your resource production. Those resources begin piling up into a very tempting bundle. There are many travian tools out there designed to show accounts which are idle and how long they have been idle. If you are yellow, you are about to be someone's farm. [Please refer to the farming rule.] If you are going to be someone's farm, you might as well be our farm. You will be kicked and you will be our farm.

Yes, there may be a good reason for going yellow. You may have gone out of town for a few days leaving a sitter in charge of your account and the sitter may have wandered off to chase butterflies in the meadow. The Grand Lord Hoag understands this, but the Grand Lord Hoag will also do what is required to protect the group.

If you are going to be using a sitter, let an officer know who it is and how long you will be gone.
